Columbia River Gorge

     We make it to the mainland arriving in Portland, Oregon.  We are provided a Ford Edge by the company with whom Sophia has her new contract which turns out to be a very nice small SUV.  We strike out to tour the Columbia River Gorge first thing.  The scenic tour starts in Troutdale, Oregon and winds it way above the Interstate 84 along the north bank of the Columbia River.  This is one of the most beautiful drives as it was the old original highway. Waterfalls, hiking trails, overlooks, Vista Pointe, Crown Point are sights to see along the route and culminates with the beautiful, magnificent Multnomah Falls.  It is a beautiful drive and we continue to head east not knowing what to expect with our next home.
